Featured review
This is a historical fiction based on Roy Cohn's role in Tr*mp's life, from their meeting until Cohn's death. There are some foreshadowings based on hindsight, but for the most part it is entirely plausible. Some things are explicit that might in fact have been unsaid, notably Cohn's tutelage of Tr*mp: he actually gives numbered rules: Attack, attack, attack; always claim victory, and so on. It does not show two total monsters, both have a human side, Tr*mp especially in his relationship with his older brother Freddie.
The acting of the two leads is spot on; we have no trouble accepting Sebastian Stan as Tr*mp once was, and. Jeremy Strong has Cohn to a T. His hooded, dead eyes especially are Cohn's, but the scar down his nose, from a botched childhood operation his mother forced on him is, missing. I couldn't fault the period detail. Mary Anne Tr*mp's Scottish accent sounded more middle European.
As a key to what has made Tr*mp who he is today, this film is excellent, though it misses out how his childhood made him the person who met Cohn. I recommend it for anyone still on the fence, to see before the election.
